Henkel's new corrosion-resistant coating.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

For light metal substrates, Henkel Corporation has developed a multifunctional base coating, Alodine EC2 ElectroCeramic Coating, designed to provide chemical, corrosion, temperature and abrasion resistance while reducing parts processing costs. This high temperature resistant coating is designed to extend the life of parts exposed to harsh operating conditions, delivering titanium ceramic toughness and durability on lower cost substrates.

Based on titanium electrodeposited oxides, Alodine EC2 readily coats aluminum, aluminum alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, as well as aluminized, aluminum-plated and IVD aluminum substrate. The coating is also suitable for aluminized ferrous materials. This base coating can improve the corrosion resistance and performance of marine engines, automotive powertrain and components, appliances, cookware and a variety of other industrial parts exposed to moisture, fuel, oil and other environmental contaminants.
